The Veda Commentaries of H. P. Blavatsky

The material, wide-ranging (and thus partly hidden) of H P Blavatsky on the Vedas, is gathered together for the first time in this volume...The word Veda, we are told, is derived from the word vid (to know), and the student is helped to see and to know what perhaps was unperceived before this mother of all Eastern philosophies. We read of Vedic history, the cosmic origin of the Vedas, their esoteric meaning, and we learn...the Rig-Veda, the oldest of all the known ancient records, may be shown to corroborate the occult teachings in almost every respect. -- from The Secret Doctrine, volume 2, p606.
